Mr. Holland's LFHS Life Skills class visited the new Food Bank of Delaware in Milford as volunteers. They worked together to create "backpack" food kits for Delaware students to take home on the weekends. They learned that 1 in 5 students rely on the school- based feeding program for their meals and go hungry on the weekends. These backpack kits will go out to over 150 schools in the state to help these students. Not only are our Life Skills students able to help others through volunteer work, but they are gaining valuable job skills to put on their resume. We are so proud of our students!
